Looks nice, try googling for reviews as there's bound to be some.

I have but i cant find any:( thanks for help i appreciate it, if anyone finds some reviews could you link me, thanks  model is L194WT-SF
thanks again.

For the 19" monitor you're looking at, LG's policy is that if there are any dead/defective pixels found within 14 days of purchase, the monitor can be returned to the point of purchase and exchanged.  be sure that wherever you buy this monitor they back up the manufacturers policy.  I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEEING THE MONITOR IN PERSON BEFORE BUYING.  I haven't seen any reviews of this specific monitor, but overall, LG seems to have a good reputation. Good Luck

Ok thanks for the help everyone, i just have one last question and i no its stupid but does bf2 and most othergames fully support wide screen ? im a noob. thanks again

hmmmmmm thanks for that MARLBOROMAN82 it seeems that all there hud's are stretched even with editing the games folders to make it to wide screen or what not, so im thinking against widescreen right now.

would you please i would appreciate that man.

That monitor has great contrast and passable brightness. 5ms is a cool enough response time. However:

the specs are good, but unless it's a dell, i always recommend actually seeing it before buying it.  and make sure whoever you get it from has a good dead pixel policy.

...and that's why I never buy monitors online. Too much of a hassle to ship back if something goes wrong.

ok thank you very much! unnamednewbie13 and Marlboroman82...... +1 for you both.

and i think the max bf2 res is 1280X960@60Hz

Erm no its goes LOT higher than that. And why do people go mad for Dell monitors they're nothing special.

Back on topic, that LG looks good, if you'd like an alternative try the Hanns-G HW191DP, hearing very good things about them.

----> site for specs http://www.hannsg.com/us/ (its on page two of the products section, first one middle row. I would link it but its all flash so it just hits the home page).

the forced widescreen works fine in bf2, however, the HUD will be distorted. keep in mind that this goes for jets/helos/tank HUDs as well, so if your used to playing bf2 in not-widescreen, be prepared to spend a week or so getting back into the flow...its very different.

LG is a good brand, but i would check it out at a store first...also, if you have a Costco near where you live (i remember going to one when i was in Australia a while back...), see if they carry something similar. i say this mainly because you can return anything there, no matter what, for a year...most awesome dp policy ever.

the contrast ratio is good, but its hard to tell the difference on anything above 750:1 (correct me if im wrong), but 2000:1 is probably just a "look, our contrast ratio is better, even if the monitor costs $100 more, so BUY OURS NOW!!!" thing.

and bout dell monitors, they are arguably the best. ever. hands down. i just set up a lab of 30 dells with 19" LCDs, and they are beast. absolutely beast. hands down. visually appealing, and the resolution/w/e is absolute the best. however, they are expensive, and you can only get them thrugh dell and a few online retailers, but not many. this is why they are not as well known.

dell also just released a stripped down version of their awesome 20.1 widescreen. i will find the link in a sec. has all the performance of the higher end with out all the extra connections and features.

here it is
i love my view sonic. it priced great with really good performance, but i wish they would have had this when i bought mine. the higher end version is supposedly the best 20.1 out there and i can only imagine this will be just as good.

also make sure you graphics card can support this type of resolution. the only reason i upgraded monitors was for sli.
